The twenty guards from the Princess Mansion were desperately trying to prevent them from approaching Yan Pei's carriage.
Yan Pei was sitting inside, nearly crying from fright, the two maids were even more terrified than Yan Pei, the three huddling together, trembling.
At this moment, Yun Jiao's carriage had gradually moved away with several others ahead, and beside her carriage were still only Lin Shuo and his four guards.
This was also Jiang Youzhi's risky maneuver, he had previously instructed the guards that if there were few opponents, they should kill them back.
Once those numbers grew too many, and lacking confidence to fend them off, then execute the second plan, direct the trouble eastward.
They had waited at the village gate earlier, precisely to act once Yan Pei's carriage exited for this reason.
Because all the mansions' carriages were quite similar, mostly using cyan oilcloth, which was rainproof.
